What Montane Group does

Montane Group Limited is a UK private security services company headquartered in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, operating for over 40 years (with operating-geographies claims ranging from Lincolnshire through the broader East Midlands and nationwide event coverage). The firm delivers a full-spectrum physical security offering — door supervision, manned guarding, security dogs (NASDU/NTIPDU-qualified GP and detection dogs), mobile response, event security, close protection, and discreet surveillance — alongside a technical security stack centred on its own 24/7 Control Room and Alarm Response Centre, which integrates CCTV, motion-triggered battery cameras with GPRS/radio backup, perimeter alarms, ANPR, and a wireless residential home-protection system with panic-button response.

The technology layer is owned rather than licensed, enabling the company to bundle installation, monitoring, alarm response, key holding, and randomised patrols into multi-year bespoke contracts. All frontline personnel are SIA-licensed with BS7858-compliant background checks and enhanced DBS, and the firm additionally maintains an in-house FREC3/FREC4 medical responder capability for film/TV, construction, and high-risk events. Beyond service delivery, Montane operates an approved Qualsafe Awards Training Centre delivering Ofqual-regulated qualifications — SIA Door Supervisor and CCTV Operator courses, Close Protection training, and a suite of first-response (FREC3/FREC4, EFAW, FAW, MHFA, AED) certifications — at its Lincoln facility and on-site across the UK.

Revenue is generated through five streams: manned guarding (professional services, event-based and contract), monitored security systems (subscription / recurring), K9 services (professional services), accredited training courses (one-time / per-cohort licensing fees), and FREC medical cover (professional services). Pricing is bespoke per engagement, multi-year where monitoring is in scope, and channel distribution is direct sales to enterprises, venues, individuals, and public-sector buyers. Customer segments span hospitality/nightlife, corporate/commercial, events, construction/industrial, residential, high-profile individuals, and film/TV/media — with no single logo or anchor apparent in the supplied evidence.
